Totem poles were created by Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America, primarily by tribes such as the Haida, Tlingit, and Coast Salish. They serve various purposes, including commemorating ancestors, telling stories, and representing clan lineage or significant events. Crafted from cedar wood, totem poles often feature intricately carved figures that symbolize cultural beliefs, spiritual connections, and social status. These poles were typically placed in front of homes or community gathering spaces, serving as a public display of identity and heritage.
